Chapter 31: The Ninefold Self Advance and Retreat (5)
The Wang family was so anxious that they jumped to their feet, but Wang Shao insisted on pulling Han Gang to play chess.
However, in this game of chess, Han Gang relied on Wang Shao's two slow hands to eat one of his big dragons, forcing Wang Shao to lose.
Wang Shao wanted to pull Han Gang to play another game, but Han Gang refused with a smile, saying that it was rare to win once, and he would accept it when he saw it.
Wang Shao didn't force him to stay, and Wang Hou sent Han Gang out of the house instead of Wang Shao. After stepping out of the door, Han Gang's face became serious, and he turned back to Wang Hou and said: "The words of the privy just now, just to calm people's hearts, we still have to report to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible...... You should have sent someone to the road, right? ”
In the last game of chess, Han Gang lost a chip in the layout, and he should lose in comparison with Wang Shao's chess skills. But after restarting, Wang Shao made several faint moves in a row, and Han Gang turned the tables on the spot. Under normal circumstances, Wang Shao would not be like this.
Wang Hou nodded, knowing that the son is not as good as the father, and the father is also like the son, and he didn't see Wang Shao's vacillation, "Brother Yu understands, Fang Cai has actually sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion, and the people in the family have also sent Lu to find it." His expression was heavy, "It's the Shangyuan Festival, such things are indispensable, and God knows if Lu Dao can find out." A few years ago, the county lord of the British public family had an accident, and he could only marry a crude medicine shop. The group of thieves who attacked them have not been caught until now. ”
"Su Zirong Xinyin Kaifeng. Thirteen was abducted, and Kaifeng Mansion could not escape the blame, so it would fall on him. "The son of the privy deputy envoy was abducted on the street, even if Su Song has only been in office for two days, he still has to take on a responsibility, although Han Gang has a friendship with Su Song, but he will not help him exonerate him with a clear conscience, "Today Shangyuan, Su Zirong is still in the government office, I will go to see him now, and ask him to send someone to investigate carefully, so that the thirteen can come back safely." ”
Han Gang patted Wang Hou's shoulder, who couldn't hide his worries, "Thirteen are blessed, and they are smart and clever, even if there is a disaster, they can turn danger into a disaster, and what the privy councillor just said is not unreasonable." You will be at ease. ”
"It's a lot of work." Wang Hou sighed and looked a little more relaxed, "I'll go with you." ”
Han Gang smiled: "You and my brother, Thirteen is also my brother, so naturally we have to take it to heart." ”
In fact, Han Gang was also afraid, this time it was the thirteenth accident of Wang Shao's family, and the next time it might be a few children of his family who were abducted. But now that I think about it, the thirteenth lang of the Wang family will have an accident, and the family will dress him too well. When I saw it before, I was so jeweled that I compared several of Han Gang's sons and daughters.
It's not that the Han family has no money. It's the Han Gang family, who has always disliked dressing themselves and their children too luxuriously. This is also the difference between the southerners and the northerners, the rich people in the north usually like to dig a pit for their money and hide it, and dress modestly. And the average southerner, even if they have eaten the last meal and are almost gone, they are still willing to throw money at useless things such as utensils and decorations at home.
However, the thirteenth lang of the Wang family was abducted on the night of Shangyuan, but Han Gang always felt that there was an inexplicable feeling of reassurance, but he couldn't say what it was, could it be that his intuition was not true? There are many battles, and they have really been trained, and Han Gang is a little puzzled.
Han Gang turned over and got on his horse, waited for a while, and after Wang Hou went in, he came out with two companions and three horses, "Let's go, go to Kaifeng Mansion!" ”
……………………
Zhao Ji didn't have a good time this Shangyuan Festival, standing on the tower of Xuande Gate and looking down on all the beings who belonged to him, and it didn't bring much pleasure to today's Great Song Emperor.
The main reason is that the two younger brothers who were recruited by him to the city tower to have a banquet together, whether it is Zhao Hao, the second brother who was named King Yong, or Zhao Hao, the fourth brother who is King Jia, they are all children.
So far, Zhao Ji has two sixth and seventh princes who have just passed the age of one and are less than one year old, plus the third princess who is slightly older. He was about to turn thirty, and he had more than ten children, and he kept three.
Children are completely uninsured until they are raised until they are seven years old, and to really be able to reassure people, they can get after the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Those who are only two years old are not insured at all. Zhao Ji's previous five sons all died in infancy, and the eldest had only lived in this world for three years, how could he not know this.
Zhao Hao has a son and a daughter, the eldest son is seven years old; Zhao Hao is far younger than Zhao Xuan, only twenty-two years old, but he already has three sons, the eldest son is five years old. None of the two children have died so far. And the children of the two younger brothers are very energetic, not like Zhao Ji's sixth son, who is now the longest under his knees, he is frail from birth, and he is much lighter than the body that should be at this age.
Judging from the two younger brothers, Zhao Ji, who died five sons and three daughters in succession, really seemed to be cursed by witches.
Seeing the peaceful growth of the two younger brothers and children, Zhao Ji was secretly sad, and even a little jealous. Among the courtiers, there was never anyone as difficult as him.
Han Yi's eight sons, starting with Han Wei, Han Jiang, and Han Jin, which one is not a high-ranking official. Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo, I haven't heard of any of them. Among the courtiers of the same age, Han Gang has five or six children, all of whom are safe and stable, and the queen mentioned it to him two days ago, wanting to ask how to take care of it.
When Zhao Ji was secretly sad, Song Yongchen came to the palace, and the joy on his face made Zhao Ji look unpleasant.
But after listening to Song Yongchen's bowing, he said, "The slave and maid just came back from enjoying the lantern, and found a lost child outside the Donghua Gate and brought it into the palace. I don't know whose son it is, and he didn't dare to do it without asking for the holy decree. Hereby begins. ”
After Zhao Ji heard this, his face looked a little better, "Xuanlai let me see it." ”
The child picked up by Song Yongchen was quickly brought in, he looked like a pink carved jade, his eyebrows were very cute, and his clothes were also high-quality silk satin decorated with jewelry, and he knew at a glance that he was not from an ordinary family.
Although the child is only five or six years old, he bows and bows in front of the Son of Heaven like an adult, and shouts long live, and there is nothing wrong with the number of rituals.
In front of the Son of Heaven, even if he has to be scared, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and Zhao Ji himself does not deny it. Either trembling and sweating like pulp, or trembling and sweating, there are really not many people who can compare to this child.
Zhao Ji looked at it and was curious, "Whose child are you?" Do you remember your name? ”
"The minister's surname is Wang, and he is the youngest son of the privy deputy envoy Shao, ranking thirteenth."
It was actually the son of Wang Shao's family. When Zhao Ji heard it, this is worth it?! The son of the privy deputy envoy even dared to abduct him, what has become of the security in the city of Tokyo, "Do you remember how you were abducted by thieves?" ”
I only listened to Wang Yu explain the whole thing from beginning to end. He was originally resisted by his family to come out to watch the lanterns, but the thieves took advantage of the family's greed to watch the lanterns, and transferred him to his own shoulder. When Wang Yu found out, he knew that things were not good, but he didn't cry, he just didn't know how to do it, until he arrived at Donghua Gate, and met Song Yongchen and his party, so he shouted that there was a thief. The thief was caught off guard and hurriedly left Wang Yu and ran away.
Wang Yu speaks eloquently, this age is rare to be organized, and he is extremely intelligent, he knows how to save himself, in exchange for an ordinary child, I am afraid that he is crying and being abducted, the more Zhao Ji looks at it, the more he likes it,
And it is also Wang Shao's thirteenth son, Wang Shao's heirs have always been many, and Zhao Ji also knows the Tao - over the years, it has been a success, and it is a suburb, and he has also relied on his promotion to the government, and he has received a total of more than a dozen shade supplements, and when he arrived at the festival last month, when he saw the list of shadow supplements handed over by Wang Shao, he was still his son. Such a coincidence, in Zhao Ji's mind, of course, is an auspicious rui, but a sign of having a child.
"I'll rest in the palace tonight, and I'll send you home tomorrow." Zhao Ji planned to stay in the palace for one night, so as to have a good fortune, and instructed the little yellow door in the palace: "Take it to the back and tell the queen." ”
turned to Song Yongchen and said: "Song Yongchen, you go to Kaifeng Mansion and tell Su Song about today's events." On the night of Shangyuan, thieves were rampant, which was the ineffective management of Kaifeng Mansion and ordered it to search the city. He paused, "I know it's hard to do, but ......"
"Your Majesty." Wang Yu was carried by a small yellow door and wanted to go to the harem, so he turned around in his arms and said, "It's not difficult to catch the thief." ”
"Why?" Zhao Ji asked with a smile.
When the minister went out, his mother pinned embroidery needles and colored threads on his hat to suppress the ominous. When the minister was taken captive by the thieves, he sewed a thread on his collar. Just check the collar and you will know the thief. ”
Zhao Ji was amazed, and sighed, not only did he know how to save himself, but he even didn't forget to leave a clue to catch the thief, "I often hear people say that I am wise, but I can only see it with my own eyes today." He raised his voice and said: "Song Yongchen, have you ever understood?!" ”
Song Yongchen replied respectfully: "The slave understands. ”
Su Song, who took office as the prefect of Kaifeng before the Shangyuan Festival, was in good spirits, although Song Yongchen said it unclearly, but Han Gang and Wang Houfang had only come once, and the two sides were compared, and of course they knew the truth of the matter.
He didn't waste time, he immediately ascended to the court, and brought over the four people in charge of catching thieves in the yamen, basically the thieves in the jurisdiction, they can be said to know everything about the snakes.
Su Song said the whole thing, and said: "This time the Son of Heaven personally decreed, the government will be limited to three days, if you can't catch someone within the time limit, don't blame the government for not being humane." ”
"Dafu rest assured, even if there is evidence, there is nothing that cannot be caught. The villain is limited to three days, and if he can't catch the thief on time, he will be punished. ”
There is no need for Su Song to be ruthless to urge, all the officials, fast hands and archers in the yazhong know that this case is supervised by the Son of Heaven, where do they dare to prevaricate and delay, and they all go out to search for thieves.
In one day, the whole city of Tokyo was turned upside down. This city-wide search shocked the ruffians in the city, and even they came out to help search for suspicious people in order to ask for an Ansheng.
The four inspectors who knew the characteristics of the thieves in the Dao Dao would separately check the suspects who had been caught, and on the same day, they arrested a thief with colored threads embroidered on his collar and his gang into Kaifeng Mansion.
Note: The authenticity of this story is difficult to verify. From Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke's "History", he claimed to have heard it from Wang Yu's grandson. In the Ming Dynasty, the adaptation of "Xiangmin Gongxiao Lost His Son, Thirteen Lang was Five Years Old to the Sky" appeared in the surprise of the second moment.
